Categories
The DM Diploma Program's four curriculum categories can assist you in formulating your program of studies. A DM diploma curriculum can combine studies in all four categories. These four educational divisions provide the structure for the DM Diploma Program.
- Professional updating (not more than 12 CEU)
to review disaster/emergency management fundamentals - Professional advancement (at least 30 CEU)
to explore professional and technical sector developments in which you have limited background and/or to increase your skills in areas of current sectoral responsibility - Professional electives (not more than 25 CEU)
to increase capabilities for assuming new job responsibilities, including administrative, managerial, financial and sectoral areas new to you - Outside interests (not more than 10 CEU)

These categories apply to all educational components.
